If you enroll in an English-taught medical program in Italy , you better get familiar with Italian bureaucracy (there’s a lot of it, trust us).

There comes a time during any student’s journey when one must decide what to do about their future. This usually happens once high school ends, without really considering the state of awareness and maturity. When dealing with this situation, we are well aware of how choices and paths can change and transform along the way, yet this does not prevent us from having to make decisions that will rule out some options and favour others.

After months of preparation, the time has come – the IMAT is only a few days away. At the finish line, we’re here to give you an extra boost: a checklist of what to bring with you, tips on how to organize your trip to the test center, and a peek at what your test day will look like – raw and untainted.

If you are considering applying to medical school in Italy, you may have discovered this option while exploring alternatives to studying medicine in the UK. Many UK students first hear about Italian medical schools through friends or online research. Despite the growing number of international candidates taking the International Medical Admissions Test, awareness among UK students is still relatively limited compared with other European destinations.
